  1. Sinclair Lewis _ It Can't Happen Here

    We go back to the Dark Ages! The crust of learning and good manners and tolerance is so thin! It would just take a few thousand big shells and gas bombs to wipe out all the eager young men, and all the libraries and historical archives and patent offices, all the laboratories and art galleries, all the castles and Periclean temples and Gothic cathedrals, all the cooperative stores and motor factories-every storehouse of learning. No inherent reason why Sissy's grandchildren-if anybody's grandchildren will survive at all-shouldn't be living in caves and heaving rocks at catamounts.
